The system calculates the allocated quota. It shows the percentage of the selected fishing companies' total quota at any given time and, depending on the selection, the effect of the acquisition or merger of potential companies. It is possible to select baseline assumptions based either on the current legal framework or on the provisions in the draft Fisheries Bill.,
An example calculation showing the market share of the largest fishing fleets based on the quota after the makrel quota allocation on 4 June.
The quota calculator calculates the allocated quota in the creel quota system and shows the quota share of the ten largest fishing companies in the 'THG' and for the cod and haddock stocks. It is possible to see the changes before and after the acquisition or merger of different companies.
The quota calculator uses the ownership of Icelandic fisheries companies and their connections with other companies in the sector. The system also calculates the MHHI indices for fisheries for the general system and the creasing system.
The figure shows the ownership structure between fishing companies based on the latest official Icelandic information. It is possible to enter examples of acquisitions or mergers into the system and calculate market share and other ratios after such cases have been entered.
The system calculates key concentration indices such as the HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index), CR3 and CR8 (concentration index). These calculations are made for both the current legal framework and draft bills for legislative changes. The indices are calculated for the overall market, related categories and individual product types.
